Hello When I am reading about preprint servers, I am wondering about the actual procedure. In the timescale of a publication, when will it be send to such a server. Before you send it to a journal ? They will not accept my paper then - already published. After sending it to a journal - I will not be allowed because of the reduced revenue for the publisher. Some people will download the preprint, as it contains the same data. Or will the preprint be erased after publication ? Thanks for any enlightenment.
